My guess is that you've just started doing weights.I work out 5 times a week n have done since i was 14.when i first started i left the gym with tired and hurting muscles.Remember "NO PAIN NO GAIN" also remember not to over do it as this wont benefit u at all just injure you .Maybe rest 4 longer and never work a muscle thats still hurting eat more eggs n protien rich foods that feed ur muscles. and ignore jeff above.

You may be overdoing it a little. If you have pain that's so bad that you can't exercize for three days, you may need to cut back on the amount of weight you are lifting. Your body needs to adjust, and it is a gradual thing.
Also, make sure that you are properly hydrated. A lack of electrolytes can cause great pain after exercize.

you should work different sections different days, upper body on day core the next and so on. This will give your body the needed time to heal the newly formed muscle, and you can still work out this is proven to be the best way to acheive results fast.
